1 Proceedings of IPC 2006: 6 th International Pipeline Conference September 25-29, 2006, Calgary, Alberta, Canada IPC SIMULATION PIPELINE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR OPERATOR TRAINING Dr David John Basnett Atmos International Ltd Didsbury, Manchester, UK ABSTRACT Most pipeline simulations are primarily concerned with performance of the pipeline, and the modeler typically assumes an idealized model of the control systems. The modeler assumes that control devices operate instantaneously and perfectly. This assumption is sufficient for a wide range of engineering simulation tasks, but inadequate for simulations used to training pipeline operators. For training purposes it is important that the software provides a virtual pipeline that responds in the same manner as the real pipeline. The simulator should model the delays and interactions of the control system as well as the hydraulics of the pipeline. This paper describes how a generic control capability was added to an existing liquid simulation package to provide a more realistic training simulation for several applications including crude oil and multi-product pipelines. The paper will discuss the practical lessons learned from these simulations of the full control systems for pipeline training systems. The potential drawbacks of the method chosen will also be addressed. INTRODUCTION Historically, computer simulations of pipelines have concentrated almost entirely on modeling hydraulic performance. The earliest simulations were only able to model a pipeline in steady state due to computational limitations. As the processing power available increased, simulations began to cover dynamic flow situations as well. For reasons of mathematical simplicity and computational efficiency, most simulations either ignore control entirely, or allow so called ideal control. For initial engineering design and analysis of a pipeline, this ideal control is often all that is required. When considering the control systems used on a physical pipeline, the situation is more complicated. There are often several different types of control at a single pump station [1]. A change to a setpoint by an operator will not lead to an instant change in the pipeline to this new value. For example when the operator requests a valve to close, the valve may close slowly, partially or not at all, for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons may be due to the physical design of the pipeline, but many will be related to the pipeline control system. In addition there are usually two main forms of control, which interact with each other. The first is the process control, which is responsible for controlling the pressure and flow in the pipeline by changing the positions of valves and the speeds of pumps or compressors in order to meet operator supplied set points. The second form of control is the logical control, which is responsible for enforcing a set of rules for safe operation of the pipeline. The logical control is used for emergency shut down and safety interlocks, and is mostly independent of the operator. Since the pipeline control system is responsible for all interaction between the operator and the pipeline, it is an essential part of any training system. In some cases, the control will be implemented entirely by the pipeline Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, and this can just be connected to a computer simulation of the pipeline to create a training system. However, in most cases, large parts of the control are implemented locally by the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and similar devices attached to the pipeline. To build a training system for such a pipeline, it is necessary to add the simulation of this control to the hydraulic simulation of the pipeline. This paper details the work done to add simulation of control logic to an existing hydraulic simulation package for liquid flow based on the Method of Characteristics [2, 3]. 1 Copyright 2006 by ASME

2 BACKGROUND Before the development of the control logic simulation was carried out, a number of assumptions were made that affected the final form of the system. The first assumption was that the control logic system would be used with an existing simulation package that uses the Method of Characteristics to model the pipeline hydraulics. This has an important implication that the underlying hydraulic model will be running with a fixed time step, and that this time step will be quite short. This meant that it was a reasonable choice to run the control simulation using the same fixed time step. The fixed time step meant that simple discretisation of the equations for the various controls was possible. It was decided that the time steps would always be short enough that we could generally treat the values of interest as being constant during each step. This was considered justifiable, since the underlying hydraulic model can only respond to changes in the control values when a new step is made. The two main objects that are controlled in pipelines are valves and pumps (compressors for gas pipelines). It was decided to model the valves as being only controlled by the fraction open, and the pumps by the speed. This choice matches both the model used in the underlying hydraulic engine and the actual control used in most pipelines. This meant that for every item in the hydraulic model, only a single control output was required. For practical reasons, it was assumed that the majority of the people who would configure and use the new control simulation would not be simulation or control experts. It was decided that the method for configuring the control simulation should be clear and as simple as possible. A graphical configuration system was chosen. Existing standards for writing graphical control logic programs such as Ladder Diagrams and Functional Block Diagrams were reviewed, but to maintain simplicity a custom approach was selected. This approach is based on Functional Block Diagrams. Since each item in the hydraulic model has a single control input, it was decided to implement a system with a one to one correspondence between the control diagrams and the hydraulic model items. This means that each control diagram can only directly control one hydraulic model item, and each hydraulic model item can only be affected by one control. This also implies that the process control and logic control for an item are combined into a single control diagram, rather than being handled separately. ARCHITECTURE The control simulation system was created to be inserted between the user interface and the hydraulic pipeline model. The user interface can either be the standard SCADA interface that is used for the real pipeline, or a custom training interface. The control signals that would be sent to the PLCs and pipeline items are instead sent as inputs to the control simulation system. The control simulation also takes values from the hydraulic simulation as inputs to mimic the values that would be read from the pipeline metering systems. The outputs of the control simulation are both to the hydraulic model and to the user interface. The values sent to the hydraulic model control the position of valves and speed of pumps in the pipeline simulation. The values sent to the user interface are used to display the status of alarms and similar displays. The hydraulic simulation system chosen for the trainer already provides output values using the OPC standard [4] (originally OLE for Process Control, although this no longer uses OLE) for information exchange. Since most SCADA systems are able to deal with OPC communications, this was chosen as the method of input and output for the simulation system. Theoretically, the construction of the control simulation system means that it could be run separately from the chosen hydraulic model. However, for practical reasons, it was decided to incorporate the control simulation and the hydraulic simulation into a single application. In control systems, there are two separate kinds of signal that are used. The first is the analogue signals that represent continuous values such as pump speeds or measured flows. These signals are mostly related to the process control for the pipeline, although they often feed into the logic control as well. The second kind of signal is the binary signals that represent true or false values. These signals are generally only related to the logic control of the pipeline. As an initial decision was made to combine the process and logic control for an item in a single diagram, the two kinds of signal must also be combined in a single diagram. To maintain the simplicity of the system, there is no need for explicit conversion between the two kinds of signal. In line with the generally accepted convention, the binary values of true and false are treated as continuous values of 0 and 1 respectively. When a conversion from a continuous value to a binary value is required, a value of 0 is considered as false, and any other value is considered as true. In line with modern programming practice, and company standards, the control simulation system was developed using an object oriented approach. In particular, each of the simple blocks in the control diagram is implemented as an object that acts on a set of inputs and produces an output value. Since all the calculations for each type of block are self contained, this makes it easy both to modify an existing block to add extra functionality, and to add entirely new kinds of block. 2 Copyright 2006 by ASME

3 In addition to making the output of each control diagram available through OPC, it was decided to make the input and output values of the individual control blocks within the diagram available as well. This allows the OPC server to act as a common repository for all the control simulation values. One advantage of this is to simplify the tuning and development of control configurations by allowing the intermediate values used in each control to be read and modified without access to the source code. CONFIGURING CONTROL SIMULATION Each control diagram consists of a set of control blocks that implement simple functions. The initial version of the control simulation system had eight such functional blocks, plus two special types of block. The functional blocks all have a fixed number of input connections and a single output connection. Lines can be drawn between these connections to indicate the flow of signals from one block to another. The two special block types are the source block and the output block. The source block has no input connection, and is used to bring values into the control diagram. The source can be set to a fixed value, a defined profile of values against simulation time, an output from the hydraulic model or a value from an external OPC source such as the user interface. The output block has no output connection, and represents the controlled value for the pipeline item associated with the control diagram. The initial set of control blocks were chosen to allow most pipeline control to be simulated; the eight blocks provided are listed in Table1. Block type Description Convert Applies a scalar and an offset to the input for unit conversion. Min Takes the minimum of the two inputs, used for a low select. Max Takes the maximum of the two inputs, used for a high select. Compare Output depends on whether the first input is smaller, the same as or larger than the second. PID Applies a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control to the inputs AND Logic AND of the two inputs OR NOT Logic OR of the two inputs Logic NOT of the input Table 1 Initial control blocks The figures below give examples of some simple controls built using this method. Figure 1 shows an example of process control - a pressure control system for a valve. There is one PID control for the discharge pressure setpoint, and a second for the suction pressure setpoint. The minimum control acts as a low select allowing one control to override the other. Figure 2 shows an example of logic control an Emergency Shut Down (ESD) system. This has two compare blocks, one acting as a high limit, and the other as a low limit, the results of these are fed to an OR block to trigger the ESD on either condition. Note the use of the NOT block to switch from ESD false = 0 to valve position 1 = open, and ESD true = 1 to valve position 0 = closed. Figure 1 Process Control Diagram Figure 2 Logic Control Diagram RUNNING CONTROL SIMULATION Since each block in the control diagram is implemented as a separate object, and the control diagram is run at regular, closely spaced intervals, we would like to be able to just evaluate each block once for each step of the simulation. To evaluate a block, we need to make sure that any blocks that supply the input values have already been evaluated, so that the correct values are available. Since the blocks that provide the inputs are given by the connections in the control diagram, they will always be the same. This means if we can work out a suitable order for evaluating the blocks, then we can use this at every step. The running of the control simulation thus breaks into two parts: determining the order in which the blocks should be evaluated once before the simulation starts, and then evaluating the blocks at each simulation step. 3 Copyright 2006 by ASME

4 Determining Evaluation Order In the simple examples given in Figures 1 and 2 above, the left to right drawing convention for the direction of the signal paths makes identifying the order in which the blocks should be evaluated simple. However, in more complex control systems there are two extra factors that need to be considered. The first is that through the OPC input type, a source block in one control diagram can be set to the output of another control diagram. The second is that it is possible to create control systems where there is a feedback loop entirely within the control (as opposed to feedback loops that involve the hydraulic model). The second issue is more difficult to handle than the first. When we have a source that takes its value from another control diagram, we can simply treat the two diagrams as a single large diagram when determining the order in which to evaluate the control blocks. Since we wish to run the control simulation in discrete steps, and treat the values as constant during each step, we cannot directly simulate any loops. However, since we have assumed that the time steps will be small, we can approximate the loops by evaluating each item in the loop once. To do this we have to arbitrarily break one link in the loop. This means that one item in the loop will be taking an input value from the previous step rather than the current step. To date several training systems have been implemented using this system, and none of the pipeline control systems have required such loops, so this may be a purely academic issue. Since many pipelines implement the control using PLCs, and these operate in a similar step wise fashion, this approach should be acceptable when used with small time steps. The method used for determining in which order to evaluate the control blocks is based on techniques from graph theory [5]. Since the connections on the control blocks are inputs or outputs, each of the links between them has a direction. This means that we can represent all the control diagrams as a directed graph (possibly in several disconnected parts). In this graph, each node represents one of the control blocks. Each arc represents a link between control blocks (either drawn or implied as mentioned above), with a direction representing the signal flow. The problem of determining the order in which to evaluate the control blocks is then equivalent to giving each node in the graph a number such that for every arc the number of the node at the from end is lower than the number of the node at the to end of the arc. Evaluating the blocks in increasing order of the number of the associated node means that each input to a block will have been evaluated before that block is, which is what we require. Since we have decided that we are willing to break any loops that exist, such a numbering can be created using a greedy algorithm. The first step is to find a suitable node at which to begin the numbering, which is a node with no inward arcs. These nodes represent source blocks whose value is coming from outside the control simulation, and so these blocks can always be evaluated before the other control blocks. Having found a root node for the numbering, we apply a recursive algorithm on the graph, starting with this node and a level of one. At each step of the algorithm, we have a current node N, and a current level L. The node has a set of inward arcs {A I }, and a set of outward arcs {A O }. We set the number for the current node to the level L. For each inward arc a I in {A I }, if the arc is not labeled as visited, then we label the arc as visited, and repeat the recursive algorithm for the node at the from end of this arc, with a level of (L-1). Then for each outward arc a O in {A O }, if the arc is not labeled as visited, then we label the arc as visited, and repeat the recursive algorithm for the node at the to end of this arc, with a level of (L+1). This procedure will apply a number to all the nodes in the connected graph component containing the root node. We can then look for another root node that has not had a number assigned to it, and repeat this until all the nodes in the graph have a number assigned. Since we label the arcs as visited as they are traversed by the numbering, this arbitrarily breaks any loops by assigning a set of numbers that is compatible with the direction of all but one of the arcs in the loop. Other than one arc per loop, all the other arcs now have the number for the from node one lower than the number at the to node as required. Note that it is possible for this scheme to produce negative numbers for some of the nodes. For simplicity, we add a constant amount to all the numbers applied so that the minimum number is one. Using these node numbers, we can now assign each of the control blocks into a layer, where the blocks in the same layer all have associated nodes with the same number. The block in a layer with number L will only have inputs from blocks in layers with number L-1 or less, by the construction of the numbering. This means that the blocks in layer 1 will not depend on any other blocks, and so can be evaluated in any order. The blocks in layer 2 will only depend on outputs from blocks in layer 1, and so once the layer one blocks have been evaluated, the layer 2 blocks can be evaluated in any order. As a result, we now have an order in which all the blocks can be evaluated so that a block is always evaluated after all the blocks that provide the inputs. 4 Copyright 2006 by ASME

5 Evaluating control blocks Since each block is implemented as a separate object, evaluating a block is conceptually a simple procedure. The input values are obtained from the OPC server, the calculations for the block are carried out, and the output value is written to the OPC server. For most of the control blocks, this is all that is required, since the functions implemented by the block require no storage of past values. The exception to this is the PID control, which requires storage of values from previous steps. The PID control implements a delay, which means that it needs to store the setpoint and measured value from each step during this delay. Since the control simulation uses a fixed time step, we can replace the classic continuous PID equation with a discretised form. This means that the only other storage that is required is the value of the output at the last step. PRACTICAL LESSONS LEARNED Extensions to the control simulation system As with the development of pipeline simulation models, the control simulation system has gone through a process of increasing complexity to allow it to more accurately model the control systems encountered on real pipelines. The set of control blocks described above is a good starting point, and allows most of the control for a pipeline to be modeled. However, creating several training systems to match pipelines that had already been built, or were about to be built required a number of additions and alterations to the control simulation in order to produce a system capable of simulating a pipeline for operator training. The basic blocks allow the standard control and logic for the pipeline to be implemented, but the range of blocks had to be expanded. Some of the additions were made to make configuring the control simulation easier, and some were added to allow new kinds of control to be simulated. The new blocks that were added to make configuration easier include 3 input versions of the AND, OR blocks, and limit blocks that behave in a similar way to the comparison blocks but are configured to act as high or low limit alarms, and so require less source tags and configuration. Using these new blocks, ESD logic similar to that shown above in Figure 2 now has the simpler form as shown in Figure 3. Note that Figure 2 required 2 sources per limit, while Figure 3 only requires one per limit. Four new control blocks were added to allow simulation of new types of control. The first of these was added for a pipeline where several valves had suction and discharge pressure control, and the control could be switched between suction only, discharge only, or discharge with suction override. To allow this to be simulated, a new Select control block was added with three inputs, the first two inputs are the signals to consider and the third input is used to switch the input between signal 1, signal 2 and the minimum of the two signals. Many SCADA systems are designed to send a simple Open or Close signal to a valve, rather than providing a valve position in the range 0 1 as required by the hydraulic model. In addition some systems expect the PLC to reset the open command when the close command is sent and vice versa. Since this is complicated to implement with the original blocks, and is a common requirement, this was added as a new Valve control block. This takes two inputs for the open and close signal, and outputs a value of 0 for closed or 1 for open. The implementation also simulates the reset of the commands. The original set of blocks all reacted instantly to changes in their inputs. This is enough for simple control, but in many cases a sequence of timed actions is required. An example of this is a pump startup or shutdown procedure, where the inlet and outlet valves have to be operated as well as the pump starting. In order to allow this sort of control to be simulated, a timer block was added, which initially outputs a value of zero. If the input of the block is non zero for longer than a configured time interval, the output of the block is set to one. The block can be set to reset back to zero after one step, or stay at one until the input becomes zero. This simple timer block has been sufficient to simulate all the control of this sort that has been encountered. As will be discussed in the section on limitations of the chosen system, the control of a sequence of events in such a way can require some ingenuity in the configuration of the control simulation. The final new block that was added was the sequence block. This starts off with an output of zero. It has two inputs, one to increment the output and the other to decrement the output. The maximum and minimum output values for the block can be configured. This control block was originally added to simplify cases where valves had to be opened in order as the flow rate increased. The block can also be incorporated into startup or shut down logic to provide a counter of the current step in the process. Figure 3 New style ESD logic 5 Copyright 2006 by ASME

6 Observations of completed training systems The completion and use of training systems using the new control logic simulator taught the project team involved two important lessons about the use of control simulation with a hydraulic simulation. The first lesson was that replacing ideal control with a realistic control model makes it much easier to create simulation instabilities. For example, poor tuning of a PID control can cause the output of the control to oscillate, which will then affect the hydraulic model. While this is what would happen if such a controller was used on a real pipeline, this kind of instability is generally undesirable. Adjusting the tuning of the controllers will avoid these instabilities, but will obviously increase the time and effort needed to create a simulation model. The second lesson learned was that adding control simulation to the hydraulic model can make calculating a steady state solution very difficult. Including the process type control is usually not a problem. The response of this type of control is mostly both smooth and continuous, and so can be incorporated easily into an iterative solution scheme for the steady state. However the logic control is often highly discontinuous. For example, if an iterative solution was to generate a pressure at an intermediate step high enough to trip a limit and cause a valve closure, then there may be nothing in the automatic control to open that valve again. The approach that has been taken to overcome this is to disable parts of the control during the steady state by fixing the output values. This allows a steady state for the pipeline model with parts of the control to be found. Again, this increases the work required to create the simulation configuration for a training system. Extra simulation options The basic operation of the control simulation as described above is sufficient to train an operator in the normal running of the pipeline. However, users of training systems expressed an interest in training their operators in how to deal with a variety of abnormal operating conditions. Several extensions have been made to the basic system to allow this kind of training. Most pipelines are controlled via a SCADA system from a central control room. However, at each pumping station or similar location there is usually a control panel that allows an engineer at that location to switch the control from remote to manual. When this happens, the central control room has reduced or no control of that station. In the control simulation system that has been created, each Control diagram and PID control block can be set into manual override mode. For a control diagram, the manual override mode allows a new value for the output of the whole diagram to be specified. All the control blocks within the control diagram are still evaluated as normal, but the output value is replaced with a value provided by the trainer. The manual override for the PID control block is similar, but only affects the output of the PID block. For PID controls, it is often required that while they are in manual override the set point will track the process value. This prevents a sudden change in output when they are switched back into automatic operation. The PID control blocks can be configured to track the set point or continue normal calculations when in manual override mode. If a trainer requires a lower level method of interfering with the operation of the control system, then it is possible to overwrite the values of the individual inputs or outputs of the control blocks. When a value in the OPC communications system is written to in this way, a flag is set for this value. The flag instructs the control logic simulator not to overwrite the value of that tag when carrying out the normal simulation step updates. There are also other abnormal conditions that should be simulated in a training system that are not related directly to the control system. These include leaks, which will be covered by the hydraulic pipeline simulation, but are likely to cause subsequent effects in the ESD logic of the pipeline. Most of the other abnormal conditions that are required can be obtained by making changes in the communications layers rather than changing the simulation itself. To simulate a valve that has failed closed; the position for the valve that is sent to the pipeline simulation can be set to closed regardless of the values sent by the trainee. Valves that have failed open or become stuck can be treated in a similar way. LIMITATIONS Although the control simulation system works well for the training simulators that have been developed using it, there are a few limitations to the approach that has been described above. This section of the paper will give an overview of these limitations, most of which stem from the original assumptions and decisions made. One of the largest limitations was the original choice that there would be a one to one relationship between the control diagrams and the pipeline items in the hydraulic model. This simplifies the construction of simple control simulations, and makes them easy to understand. However in many control systems there is a common piece of control that affects two or more items. A particularly good example of this is the control for a pump start up procedure, which will control the pump and several valves. Under the current system, control for multiple items can be achieved in two ways, neither of which is ideal. The first method is to put the control for all of the items into the diagram for a single item. The control diagrams for the other items then use source tags to pull the required values out from the appropriate blocks. This has the advantage that the control is all in one place. But it has the disadvantages that one item will have a control diagram containing lots of blocks that do not affect that item at all, and that it is not as obvious from the control diagram which items are controlled. The second option only applies to time based sequences, and is based on splitting the sequence into the control for each item in turn. The first item in the sequence will contain just the control for that item in the associated control diagram. The diagram for the second item 6 Copyright 2006 by ASME

7 will take a value from the control blocks for the first item to trigger the start of the sequence for that item. The same method is used for the other items in the sequence. This has the advantage that the control for each item is in the diagram for that item. However, the drawback is that the control sequence is split into several parts, and so cannot be viewed as a whole. The next limitation is that the control simulation system can only be used to simulate systems when it is being run with reasonably short fixed time steps. As long as the training system runs fast enough to produce results in real time, this does not pose a problem during training. However, this limits the ability of the simulation to fast-forward over a period that is of no training interest during a long simulation. In particular, there is no allowance for the various methods of advancing a model using an adaptive time step. SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT Although the system described in this paper has proved capable of producing training systems for a number of pipelines, use of the system has shown areas where changes could be made. Most of these changes will have no effect on the end users of the training system, but will make the configuration and validation of simulation configurations quicker and easier. Based on the noted limitations imposed by the one to one linkage between the control diagrams and hydraulic model items, it would be very useful to allow free diagrams that are not associated with an item. These could be used to implement the common control for a set of items in a single place. As an addition, removing the restriction that the output of each control block can only connect to a single input would simplify the control diagrams. The control blocks currently have a fixed number of inputs. When creating logic control diagrams there are often a large number of conditions that have to be ANDed or ORed together. It would greatly simplify the construction of such diagrams if blocks with a variable number of inputs were created. Similarly, the system would obviously benefit from having a greater range of control blocks from which to construct diagrams. Particularly useful blocks would be those that perform simple arithmetic on the input values, and a block that could contain a user written function rather than a predefined calculation. Improvements are now being incorporated in the next version of the simulation software based on the above experience.
